The distributive property connects two different operations - for example, addition and multiplication. In this case:a(b+c) = ab + ac
Here is an example with numbers:
7(10+2) = 7x10 + 7x2
If you were thinking about other combinations of operations, I suggest you try out a few examples, whether both sides are equal or not.

What is the word to a property of equality used to solve multiplication equations?

Explain how to use the distributive property to find 20x12?
The distributive property is not used for simplified multiplication. See http://www.algebrahelp.com/lessons/simplifying/distribution for information about how to use the distributive property to simplify other equations. 20 x 12 is already simplified, so the proper way to solve it is 12 x20 ----- 240 You could potentially factor and use the commutative property to find a simpler equation, ex. 20x12 -- break 20 into 10 and 2 10x2x12 -- multiply 2 by 12 10x24 -- multiply by 10 240

What algebra property is x5?
Well, darling, x5 is not an algebra property. It seems like you're mixing up your variables and operations. If you meant x to the power of 5, then that's just exponentiation. So, let's get those algebraic terms straightened out, shall we?

What is the name of the property that is used to say that 2(5 plus 3) is the same as 2 x 5 plus 2 x 3?
This is the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
What property is being used for the problem -6(a - 7)?

What does the distributive property allow you to do?
The distributive property of multiplication over addition allows you to partition a multiplication problem into simpler chunks: For example: 4*57 = 4*(50+7) = 4*50 + 4*7 that last step used the distributive property = 200 + 28 = 228
When solving equations how do you justify your steps?
You should state the property used, such as distributive property of multiplication over addition or addition property of equality, etc.
What two properties are commonly used when multiplying a monomial by a polynomial?
Distributive property of multiplication over addition, Commutativity of addition.
What algebraic property is being used 4 multiplied by x plus y equals 4x plus 4y?
The distributive property of multiplication over addition.
What is the distributive property of 7 x 86?
7 x 86 does not HAVE a distributive property. The distributive property of multiplication can be used to calulate 7 x 86 as 7 x 86 = 7 x 80 + 7 x 6
What is the property of 3(x plus 6)3(x) plus 3(6)?
The rubbish browser used for posting questions on this site has nearly trashed your question so I cannot be 100% sure, but I suggest it is the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
What property is used in the following expression 6(2 8)12 48?
It is probably the distributive property of multiplication over addition or subtraction. However, wit so many missing symbols, it is difficult to be sure.
How do you use distributive property?
The distributive property of multiplication over addition is x*(y + z) = x*y + x*zIt is used in multiplication through chunking.For example, to calculate 4*56, you can break up the 56 into 50+6.Then4*56 = 4*(50 + 6) = 4*50 + 4*6 = 200 + 24 = 224.
What is distributive law for multiplication?
The distributive law for multiplication states that for any numbers (a), (b), and (c), the expression (a \times (b + c)) can be expanded to (a \times b + a \times c). This law demonstrates how multiplication distributes over addition, allowing for easier computation and simplification of expressions. It is a fundamental property in algebra that is widely used in various mathematical operations.
What is the distributive property of 16 x 102?
As it stands, 16*102 has no distributive property. The distributive property is a property that multiplication has over addition. It is, therefore, necessary for the question to have a multiplicative components and an additive component.So, if you chose to write 102 as (100 + 2) then the question becomes16*(100 + 2)and THEN the distributive property can be used to express that as16*100 + 16*2You could, equally go for(10 + 6)*102 = 10*102 + 6*102Or split either number into any other convenient form of addition.
